How to recognize convexity of a set from its marginals

چکیده
We investigate the regularity of the marginals onto hyperplanes for sets of finite perimeter. We prove, in particular, that if a set of finite perimeter has log-concave marginals onto a.e. hyperplane then the set is convex.

Simulation of multivariate distributions with fixed marginals and correlations
Consider the problem of drawing random variates (X1, . . . , Xn) from a distribution where the marginal of each Xi is specified, as well as the correlation between every pair Xi and Xj . For given marginals, the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds put a lower and upper bound on the correlation between Xi and Xj . Hence any achievable correlation can be uniquely represented by a convexity parameter λij ∈ [...
متن کاملOn Volume Distribution in 2-convex Bodies
We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such “2-convex” bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite volume-ratio position for these bodies. Second, we prove that high dimensional 2-convex bodies posses one-dimensional marginals that are approximately Gaussian. Third, w...
متن کاملConstrained Interpolation via Cubic Hermite Splines
Introduction In industrial designing and manufacturing, it is often required to generate a smooth function approximating a given set of data which preserves certain shape properties of the data such as positivity, monotonicity, or convexity, that is, a smooth shape preserving approximation. It is assumed here that the data is sufficiently accurate to warrant interpolation, rather than least ...
متن کاملConvexity and marginal vectors
In this paper we construct sets of marginal vectors of a TU game with the property that if the marginal vectors from these sets are core elements, then the game is convex. This approach leads to new upperbounds on the number of marginal vectors needed to characterize convexity. Another result is that the relative number of marginals needed to characterize convexity con-
متن کاملAircraft Visual Identification by Neural Networks
In the present paper, an efficient method for three dimensional aircraft pattern recognition is introduced. In this method, a set of simple area based features extracted from silhouette of aerial vehicles are used to recognize an aircraft type from its optical or infrared images taken by a CCD camera or a FLIR sensor. These images can be taken from any direction and distance relative to the fly...
